I appreciate your informing me of the implications
•
of our new admissions policy for students from provinces where
Grade 12 represents Senior Matriculation. In view of your remarks,
I believe that it would be appropriate to request Senate to authorize
the Adrriissions Committee to exercise discretion with respect to
the entry of outstanding students from such provinces. I therefore
intend to put forward the following motion:
SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY

I am deeply concerned with our present admission
policies concerning students from other provinces.
We require these students to have at least a five
per cent (5%) higher average than is required by the leading
universities in the province where they attended high school.
With the exception of students from Ontario, we do not grant
advance credit for high school programs that in the past were
considered senior matriculation. Yet this senior matriculation
•
standing is still being recognized in provinces that carry this
structure. This practice causes a definite disadvantage in all
academic departments in the university and makes it extremely
difficult to attract high calibre students, as they must take
an additional year beyond the requirement in their respective
provinces.
.
One of the most important aspects of university life
is the inner-action of students from a cross-section of our
country pursuing together a common goal of education and sbhool
spirit. This
component
is necessary in the development of a
great.university.
..
I wish to propose that an objective evaluation be
given to-our present requirements and that advance credit be
given in cases where the student exhibits qualifying academic
preparation. In addition, that the Registrar be given the
authority to process such cases and make recommendations as to
the granting of advance credit. • . . .

We have now completed the first half of a year in the
operation of our off-campus facility.
We feel very proud of
the British Columbia educational firsts achieved in Special
Education by the project.
New research and theories have
been implemented and beginnings have been made in a clinical
program to help train student teachers in Special Education.
In addition a very real need on the Lower Mainland
for this type of educational service offered has been discovered.
There are twenty-four children currently enrolled and Mr. Ken
Pugsley has an additional list of some 119 names of pupils
desiring entry.
However, the performance of this educational
function, while very important, is clearly beyond the University's
prime concern.
We remain firmly convinced though that this
function should be maintained and continued.
.
We therefore plan to inform every person and organization
with whom we have had some contact on the matter of the Special
Education Centre that:
(a)
We think an excellent beginning to an educational
facility for children with learning disabilities has been
launched;
(b)
its continuation in September, 1968 will depend,
except for some professional consultation and cooperation, entirely
on non-university resources;
(c)
the Behavioural Science Foundations will seek ways
in which to facilitate the continuation of a Special Education Centre
which will be independent of the University;
(d)
the considerable sum of money borrowed from the
University in order to run the Centre during the current school
year still awaits, sad to say, reimbursement from outside.

The present plans for implementing and sequencing the
informational function of this decision includes:
(1)
Continued consultation with Dean MacKinnon and
President McTaggart-Cowan.
(2)
Informing the Board of Governors of our proposed
actions.
(3)
A Meeting with the Minister of Education on the
afternoon of February 5th. 1968, to inform him
of our intentions and to seek his advice concerning
viable directions to investigate for future action.
(4). Informing Senate on the evening of February 5th.
(5)
Subsequent to the above, and assuming that no reasons
for acting otherwise are raised by any one of the above
sources, to begin to inform the public by first informing
the Special Education Centre's Panel of Consultants.
(6)
Informing all School Boards, school personnel, professional
and possible donors whom we have contacted about the
project since its inception.
(7)
Around mid-February, press releases to inform the public.
.
Hopefully, we will be able to announce a viable and
attractive re-organizational plan around the beginning of March.
In a nutshell, our aim is to try to preserve the educational facility
while disengaging it from dependence on the University's personal and
monetary resources.
